Snakes

Yes, they will, although some house plants are dangerous to their health. You would need to research each type of plant in your home for toxicity. Rats love to dig in dirt and will chew any greenery that they find.

Snakes are carnivores that primarily eat rodents, birds, eggs, and other small animals. The specific diet of a snake depends on its species and size, with some snakes feeding exclusively on certain prey items.

Normally, snakes kill their prey first by constriction, which usually stops the flow of blood to the brain, but assuming this was unsucessful or if the victim was not struggling and just swallowed, then probably lack of oxygen inside the snake would kill the victim in less than 10 minutes. If oxygen were provided to the human victim, then the stomach acid, depending on the size and breed of snake, would kill the prey probably within 6 - 8 hours by interference with the functioning of vital organs, esp. automatic respiration. Very likely, shock would cause death prior to this. RAA, former zoo worker

The description you provided matches that of the red-bellied black snake, which is a highly venomous species native to Australia. It is important to exercise caution and maintain a safe distance if you encounter one in the wild.

Snake populations are generally decreasing due to habitat loss, loss of prey, and killing by humans. For specific species in the USA, check with your state fish and wildlife agency, or with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Countries other than the US often have conservation programs, research studies, and educational efforts directed toward the protection and conservation of snakes.

Snakes primarily hunt and capture their prey by using their keen sense of smell and special heat-sensing organs to detect potential meals. Once a snake identifies a target, it strikes quickly with its fangs to inject venom or constricts the prey to subdue it before swallowing it whole. Some snakes may also scavenge for food if the opportunity arises.

Milk snakes typically live for about 12-20 years in captivity, depending on factors such as diet, habitat, and overall care. In the wild, their lifespan may be slightly shorter due to environmental challenges and predation.

There are several types of pit vipers. An adult Mangshan pit viper will weigh between 6 pounds and 6 pounds 11 ounces. They can grow to be up to 7 feet in length.

there could be. Kingsnakes and milk snakes can have very similar markings to the coral snake. A true coral snake's habitat is in the southern region of the US. if there is any doubt...stay away.

The black mamba is the worlds fastest snake, and it slithers at 7mph

Northern water snakes are eaten by a variety of predators, including birds of prey such as hawks and owls, larger fish like bass and pike, snapping turtles, and mammals such as raccoons and mink. Their predators generally vary based on their habitat and size.

Some snakes lay eggs, while others give birth to live young. Newborn snakes are usually exact replicas of their parents, sometimes more brightly colored, and obviously very tiny. A 1 meter (about 3 feet) long snake's young may only be 120mm (about 5 inches) long. Newborn snakes are born fully developed, and are on their own immediately. As tiny versions of their parents, they can be very cute. Venemous newborn snakes, though, are fully capable of delivering a venemous bite.

Hi my name is Brett. I do not know if all antivenom is made this way. But apparently for snake antivenom it is. First they will milk the snake for its venom then inject small dosages of the venom into a horse or goat. The Horse will build up antibodies to the venom until it is almost immune to it. The antibodies are then extracted from the blood of the horse and purified into a serum. This is just a broad description of what the process is.

Young moccasins are light colored and may have a yellow tail-tip, but adults are very dark, ranging from gray or brown to black. They have some banding, but many cottonmouth snakes look completely black.

king snakes look very similar to coral snakes. king snakes are not venomous but the coral snake is a very poisonous snake. the king snake wants to confuse preditors into thinking it is a dangerous king snake so that they will leave it alone.

A snake's skeleton is composed mainly of ribs, with very few vertebrae. The ribs are elongated and flexible, allowing for the snake's unique movements and flexibility. The skull is also highly specialized for swallowing large prey whole, with flexible jaws and no fused bones.

I know of no desert animals that are poisonous - that kill or injure someone or something that eats them except for a few toads that live in the desert that are poisonous to eat. There are a number of desert animals that are venomous. These kill by injecting a toxin. The most dangerous snake found in deserts of the Middle East is the saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus) .

Yes, vine snakes are carnivores. They primarily feed on small vertebrates such as lizards, birds, and rodents. They rely on their stealth and camouflage to ambush and catch their prey.

Yes, in a recent television show, a snake 'went to the toilet' all over the floor of the show. It was white, and looked like rice pudding. so yes.

They are found only in the United states, in: southeastern Texas, eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, with disjunct populations New Jersey, and central Missouri.

Some reptiles from A to Z are alligator, boa constrictor, chameleon, dragon lizard, gecko, iguana, komodo dragon, monitor lizard, newt, python, rattlesnake, salamander, turtle, uromastyx, viper, water dragon, xantusia, yellow-bellied slider, and zonure.

Snakes are good at hunting and capturing prey with their speed, agility, and venom. They also play a crucial role in controlling rodent populations, helping maintain a balance in ecosystems. Additionally, snakes are highly adapted for survival in various environments, showcasing impressive camouflage and defensive mechanisms.

Venom is a toxic substance secreted by animals such as snakes, spiders, or scorpions for hunting or self-defense. It can cause harm or death when injected into a victim through a bite or sting.
